SOS occasions help the children at SOS Children’s Villages India celebrate!!

SOS Day

Commemorated on June 23 every year, SOS Day marks the birth anniversary of Dr. Hermann Gmeiner, founding father of SOS Children’s Villages India. To celebrate the joyous day, a cultural programme is organised in all 31 Children’s Villages across India, wherein children and co-workers participate in various fun activities.

SOS Tarang

To commemorate Universal Children’s Day in the month of November SOS India organises SOS Tarang, the annual sports and cultural festival of SOS Children’s Villages India. With the participation of children from across 31 Children’s Villages in 22 states, SOS Tarang not only is a platform for them to display their talent but also a great time to bond with each other.

The event is a culmination of a series of regional, zonal and national level competitions every year in the field of Art, Culture and Sports.

SOS Mother’s Day

At SOS Children’s Villages India, mothers serve a crucial role, across all initiatives. Keeping the above in mind, Mother’s Day is observed with a lot of love and enthusiasm. Various events are organised such as sessions on health and parenting skills, amongst other topics; cultural and entertainment events, panel discussions on important topics like challenges faced by mothers and plausible solutions are some other events organised. Children present arts and crafts prepared especially by them, for their mothers, as a token of appreciation and gratitude. They also take part in skits and dance/song programmes that aim to thank mothers for their relentless dedication and hard work.
